3 Things to Consider When Purchasing an AC Unit

When your air conditioning unit dies, it is extremely inconvenient - especially during a Louisiana summer. At Lee’s TemperaturePro, we want to ensure that, when you’re buying a new AC unit, you get the best AC unit for your home. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of the 3 things you need to consider when buying a new home air conditioner:

1. Reliability

With these warm Louisiana summers, you need to be assured that your AC unit will run smoothly for an extended period of time. No matter how hot it gets, you want to install an air conditioning unit that keeps your house cool and comfortable.

2. Efficiency

In the air conditioning industry, we define efficiency as the amount of cooling your AC delivers per watt of electricity. When you’re looking for an AC unit, you want to consider the efficiency of the unit. You can do this by considering the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, or SEER rating, of the unit. Remember, the lowest SEER rating allowed today is 14, so you want to look for units rated 15+. The higher the rating, the less you’ll have to pay for your energy costs.

3. Maintainability

Once you’ve found your central air conditioning unit, you’ll want to find a heating and cooling company that can provide regular maintenance services. Because central AC units have to run so much to keep up with the Lafayette, LA summers, getting your unit regular maintenance checks will ensure that your home air conditioning unit continues to run reliably and efficiently. At Lee’s TemperaturePro, we offer a Heating and Air Conditioning Maintenance Plan in which our HVAC contractors will complete preventative maintenance checks that catch hidden problems before they cause a system breakdown.
